Kelly Rowland has been soaking up the sun in LA, making the most of living so close to the beach.
And to mark her good friend Lala's birthday at the start of the week, the Destiny's Child star took to Instagram to share some gorgeous photos of the pair of them during a beach day.
Kelly looked stylish dressed in a vibrant hot pink bikini, while Lala rocked a colorful kaftan.
In the caption, Kelly posted a heartfelt message to her friend. She wrote: "Alani (affectionately know as LaLa). To know you, is to immediately love you and always want you around! That’s why everyone claims you theirs!! LOL.
"Your realness, warmth, honesty, and loyalty, is one of the most beautiful gifts, I have ever encountered, of a human! The world is a sweeter place, because you simply exist in it! I pray this trip around the sun, fulfills your heart, soul, and mind, and you get all the blessings!!
"Cause you deserve it! #iloveyou a big piece!! P.S. we need more pics!!! That’s means more girl trips!"

The singer is incredibly close to Beyoncé and her entire family, as she lived with her for several years during her teenage years. "I grew up with Beyoncé, her sister Solange, her mother Tina and her eldest cousin Angie," Kelly previously told Marie Claire Australia. "It was a real sisterhood," she continued.
"I remember the first time I went to Tina’s salon in Houston, Texas, and seeing a strong, black woman with her own business. She was so beautiful and glamorous: a role model. She introduced me to artists, lawyers and doctors and made me feel like I could literally do anything."
